Lyrics
A hundred years ago
 * -|Romaji=
 * -|English=

What was humanity?

Undeveloped? Crude? Cave-men?

A thousand years ago

What was the worries then?

Was it the same as now?

History is a feat

Time a privilege.

Why?!

(I! Want! To! Know!)

"You should be grateful

to be alive"

Why?!

(I! Want! To! Know!)

You are useless

and pathetic

Why?!

(I! Want! To! Know!)

Our choices are

defined by who we are.

Or was it the other way around?

A human is

constantly changing.

So why should we stop?

A hundred years from now

What will humanity be?

Advanced? The same? Extinct?

A thousand years from now

Will entertainment

still shine bright?

The future is an illusion

Tomorrow is a hope

Why?!

(I! Want! To! Know!)

"Why can it not

be for granted?"

Why?!

(I! Want! To! Know!)

An Idol? So what?

You're one among many.

Why?!

(I! Want! To! Know!)

The soul is free

It cannot be taken.

Is that really true?

Parallel universes

could exist.

Does that even matter?

Tomorrow, today, or yesterday

That is all we know.

A year is 365 days

and a week is 7.

And all that time

Are the stars shining bright.

Yesterday, today, or tomorrow

That's all we know.

Time progresses constantly

But will we live to see it?

Filled with worries

We spend our days.

History is a feat

Time a privilege.

Why?!

(I! Want! To! Know!)

"You should be grateful

to be alive"

Why?!

(I! Want! To! Know!)

You are useless

and pathetic

Why?!

(I! Want! To! Know!)

I want to know!

(I! Want! To! Know!)

I want to know!

(I! Want! To! Know!)
